Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- My capture inbox has months of unprocessed stuff piled up, and now opening it just makes me anxious instead of helping
- Either I lose ideas because writing them up properly in the moment is too much friction, or I jot them down as scraps that pile up unprocessed forever
- I scramble to write down every word the speaker says, word for word, and end up with a perfect transcript that I understood none of
- Ideas come to me in the shower, in the car, at 2am, and I scatter them across notes apps and sticky notes and half-finished emails
- I always rehearse the routine in luxurious slow motion because it feels more controlled that way, but in the real moment my timing is off
